Creating a CUSTOM Background WITH Texture AND Color?!
YES, please!!
Here it is easy to do so for TWO card fronts at ONCE and in just MINUTES! Grab these supplies and jump into this recipe below!
Recipe:
~ Basic White card stock at 3-3/4"x5"
~ Using the Brayer and Real Red ink, roll ONE side of this extra large So Swirly embossing folder and cover it liberally.
~ Placing TWO of this Basic White on this and emboss it with the Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine.
~ Adhere to the Real Red card stock 4"x5-1/4" with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.
~ Score the Blueberry Bushel Card stock (8-1/2"x5-1/2") at 4-1/4"
~ Adhere this to the card front and add a Basic White card stock to the inside for ease in writing and reading (5-1/4"x4").
~ Die Cut the Third Smaller of the Deckled Rectangle die-cuts in Blueberry Bushel.
~ Using the SCRAPS to Die Cut the USA (or any custom greeting) in Basic White with the Mini Alphabet dies.
~ Adhere to the card front using the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and adhere our Rhinestone Jewels with the Take Your Pick tool.
~ Make it POP with adhering this to the waving waves of Real Red using the Stampin' Dimensional adhesive.
I just LOVE how it came together.. like a beautiful waving American Flag! Today's #Flag Day celebrates our nation, how the American Flag was adopted in 1777 and Flag Day started being celebrated in 1916!

What Others are SAYING about Getting Crafty with Jamie
Jamie is so passionate and creative about making cards - and wants everyone else to join her in the fun! She is so encouraging and positive in her attitude, helping me along when I get frustrated - and then rejoicing with me at the finished product! I love going to her classes to get new ideas, learn techniques, and have loads of fun in the process. ~ Christine C.
Jamie has wicked awesome classes! If you don’t like a particular stamp or paper/ink color Jamie wants you to change it to suit your style! I did my sister-in-law’s entire bridal shower from invitations/thank you cards, party favors to decorations, it was quaint and whimsical! Everyone ooh’d and ahh’d! I’ve had lots of special requests for classes and Jamie delivers; she always has tasty treats and flavored coffees too ~Ashley W.
I have been attending Jamie's classes for over a year. Her ideas for cards are fresh and fun. She always tries to have several different styles of cards available, so everyone gets to make cards that fit their personal style. The techniques she shows each class can be used in many different applications. She is very patient teacher when instructing class members on how to use the Stampin Up products. ~ Carol D.
If I looked up the word sparkle in the dictionary, I would find Jamie Albanese picture there. I have had the sweet blessing of knowing Jamie and her family for over 5 years now. Every time I am with her I feel loved and inspired. When I am in one of her classes I feel my creative juices flow, as she encourages me to go outside my comfort zone. Jamie helped our girl scout troop make cards for a soldier who needed some encouragement!!! For any of you who have not been in one of Jamie's classes, please don't let another day slip by. She is a beautiful friend and she will become yours too. ~ Blessings, Karen:-)
Jamie has a great eye for style and flair, and it shows in her work. Yet she can pick up on your own individual style and makes great recommendations. I love that she is always flexible for last-minute decision maker mommies like me! So much fun to host craft events with your friends and family - that personal touch always means so much. ~ Adonna
